I'd recommend mt85 but I've had bad luck with it after it accumulated some miles. The car would shift very poorly in the winter (cold) until trans got warmed up.
i have this issue too. it's hard to shift into second while car is still warming up. once the clutch and components are warmed up i can shift through the gears with ease.

but i find that the 1-3rd gears are more clunky/rough than going 3-4-5-6... lol maybe we need to teach each other the opposite end of shifting so we be smooth
